| lyric | 1. Oh, the praties they grow small
Over here, over here,
Oh, the praties they grow small
And we dig them in the fall,
And we eat them skins and all,
Over here, over here.
2. Oh, I wish that we were geese,
Night and morn, night and morn,
Oh, I wish that we were geese,
For they fly and take their case,
And they live and die in peace,
Eating corn, eating corn.
3. Oh, we’re trampled in the dust
Over here, over here,
Yes, we’re trampled in the dust,
But the Lord in whom we trust
Will give us crumb for crust,
Over here, over here.
4. Oh, the praties they grow small
Over here, over here.
Oh, the praties they grow small
And we dig them in the fall,
And we eat them skins and all,
Over here, over here. |
